Bit of a mess up with the food but it was resolved very quickly without any fuss. Very friendly staff here; one of the better whetherspoons in RCT.

The food is so up and down, but its not even day by day it's meal by meal, what I mean by this is one side of the family could have a nice dinner and the other half could be stone cold and not what they ordered. The inconsistency is incredible.Cheap and cheerful, it is spoons after all. Staff are not bad, not the worst spoons staff I've encountered.

Myself and two guests had a nice meal at Wetherspoons Aberdare and the free refills of tea, coffee and chocolate are a nice touch. It was quite busy when we were there but the service was great, the staff were friendly and efficient, We didn't have to wait long for our food. It was an enjoyable visit and good value for money.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access is around the back through the beer garden.

Food was poor but cheap, coffee machines weren't working, no pancakes at breakfast time. Only seemed to be one staff member on duty doing everything, but she worked non stop with a smile and happy word for everyone.

When it comes to spoons, cheap is one of the main factors. You know what to expect each time. Typically there are a good selection of ales available and food is cheap but cheerful. Some spoons have a bit of character due to the former building it encompasses.The yr leuan ap iago (yes, I have no idea how to say it either), is admittedly one of the worst Weatherspoons I've ever been in. It's very dull and the main seating area feels like one of those party halls we all hated being dragged along to for some family gathering when we were kids.Ales are hit and miss. According to bar staff, people in the area prefer lagers to ales and so the selection is almost always poor (1, maybe 2 guest ales on tap). The app is usually never properly updated so it will show ales available which aren't on when you get there (normally it won't show any guest ales so visiting is a case of fingers crossed but usually ends in disappointment). One of the managers said they had reduced the price of guest ales to £1.99 in order to get more people drinking ales (ales are a love hate thing, reducing the price by 20p just isn't going to make everyone put down their lagers and switch).People aren't too friendly there. Contrary to a lot of Weatherspoons I've been in where the regulars just get on with their own thing, I've encountered a few here needlessly gobbing off at me for no real reason whatsoever. People barge in at the bar, staff are often too few and it's a long wait for a pint and when finally getting served, it just feels so bland being there that phones, laptops, tablets or even going through the Weatherspoons magazine is an essential.Food is ok, the usual. Everything else such as coffee and soft drinks are as you expect.If you live local, no doubt you will be nodding at my comments. If you don't, then either give Aberdare a miss entirely or if you really have to go to the Yr Ap wotsit, try and sit in the little 'snug' bit (instantly to the left as you come in) to be shut away from the rest of the pub.

Veryyy lively atmosphere, a little too loud. Food was good but let down in places. Five bean chilli on jacket potato was cold, garlic bread was undercooked and super greasy. Chicken strips and loaded chips were great though so made up well!!Parking: There is a public car park right out front, it?s free after 3pm so very convenient

Probably the worst traditional breakfast I've ever had in a Weatherspoon unless one likes over cooked eggs and lukewarm baked beans. Same for the egg sausage muffin ?

Food weatherspoons standard. I had fried breakfast and a coffee. Breakfast nice, apart from sausages, bit dry.Staff nice and pleasant. Atmosphere was mainly locals vibe.

Tables full if loud, abusive drinkers on a Tuesday evening. The cheap prices attract the worse type of people.

It's a Wetherspoons. Food is cheap, looks cheap and tastes cheap. Coffee is really bitter, but you can get a refillable cup that opens the world of tea and chocolate (when it's available).Ladies loos are located upstairs up the weirdest staircase I've seen in a while. Disabled loo is on the upper ground floor, if you're wheelchair bound, you'll need to come in via the back.Service is fab. The staff are really friendly and helpful.Parking: Parking can be found in the car park opposite or on the street.

Pub 6/13 of our Golden Mile! Now, I don?t know if the drinks were truly hitting the spot by now, but this was one of my best Spoons encounters to date. The pint was perfect and their curry and chips were the best I?ve had from there! Even decided to throw a cocktail in for good measure! Drink up, let?s boo boo!

I can only recommend for nice and friendly and nice place for a drink and like all witherspoon pubs good value I didn't have any food in this one but they are all normally really good for value.

Ordered Med-Rare sirloin came out Medium maybe because it was cook on the clam grill instead of the char grill, swimming in grease never seen a steak like it in all the spoons I have visited.
